Gunma Diamond Pegasus

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable semi-professional (not fully) baseball club. I'm fine with a redirect, certainly shouldn't be kept though. Wizardman 20:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Baseball Challenge League. Spanneraol (talk) 02:24, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. Article has a number of proper citations from reputable sources (Wall Street Journal, Tampa Bay Times), and a player from the 2014 squad (Robert Zarate) is now a member of MLB's Tampa Bay Rays organization. In addition, team has been in existence for eight years, showing stability. -- stoshmaster (talk) 11:39, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Spanneraol. The sources provide do not demonstrate the club's notability and neither does having one former player in an MLB organization. Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep It's an indy league team like the Atlantic League and Frontier League and Can-Am League teams are in the United States. A bunch of Nippon Pro guys play for this team and in the league in general. Are we going to nominate all the U.S. independent team pages for deletion next? Alex (talk) 23:13, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Spannelaol, similar to other similar teams. Rlendog (talk) 15:14, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak-ish keep. I say "weak-ish" because I'm relying on the effectiveness of Google Translate because I can't read Japanese, but this team appears to get some coverage in major Japanese language newspapers.  Not a lot, but some.  Here is some of what I found:     . One of the other papers, Mainichi, also appeared to have coverage, but even the ledes of their articles are behind a paywall.

 * Keep as it meets notability (even if just barely). Nikkei coverage is the equivalent of coverage in the Wall Street Journal, so definitely adds notability. Asahi Shimbun is also a major paper, as is the Yomiuri Shimbun. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:05, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
